The green colour in the Quran

The word greenness is mentioned several times in the verses of the Quran; describing the state of the inhabitants of paradise, and what surrounds them of blessings in a luxury atmosphere of happiness, amusement and reassurance.

For instance :

Allah says in the holly Quran : (Reclining on green Cushions and rich Carpets of beauty) (SURAH AL RAHMAN:76).

Allah says in the holly Quran: ( Upon them will be green Garments of fine silk and heavy brocade, and they will be adorned with bracelets of silver; and their Lord will give to them to drink of a Wine Pure and Holy) (SURAH AL INSAN:21)

Allah says in the holly Quran : They will recline on Carpets, whose inner linings will be of rich brocade: the Fruit of the Gardens will be near (and easy of reach)) (SURAH AL RAHMAN:54).

A psychologist called:

Ardtcham stated that colours exert a marked influence on humans. In order to prove this idea a number of experiments have been conducted, demonstrating how colours affect our enthusiasm and wariness, it also gives a cold or warm feeling, brings happiness and sadness and have an impact on our personality and the way we see life.

Nowadays hospitals weigh up the role colours play in changing the inner of human beings, by taking into account the specialists suggestions about the colours that should be used inside hospitals for the walls and clothing.

Trials have indicated the stimulation of the nervous system by the yellow colour. The orange brings reassurance and calm, The blue makes people feel cold unlike the red which makes them feel warm. However, it was found that the colour of joy and happiness is the green, which makes it the favourite colour for surgical rooms and surgeon’s uniform.

One example concerning this tremendous effects colours have, comes to our minds, concerning the experiment that was carried in a London bridge called “black friar” known as the suicide bridge, as many of the suicides were committed from it. When its colour was changed from grey to a nice green colour the rate of suicide has declined enormously.

It is known that the green colour eases the vision due to its small vision area in addition to its medium wave length which is shorter than the red one and longer that the blue one.

i think it was the prophet fav colour and the dome of the majid of Medina is green.

[Isambard]

Depends on the context.

Green is typically associated with life across most cultures because it coinsides with plants and spring.

But a color like red, can represent life (blood), anger/destruction (when you get mad you red), or dangerous/wild (if you have a red car you're insurance will charge you more).

Im not sure how you can say green is the most moderate colour as there's no way to measure that...

I personally hate green. Always reminds me of mucus :P.
Go black!

eeerm according to some areas of science, black is not considered as colour, because it lacks any visible radiation (light), and is thought to absorb all teh colours of teh visible spectrum. So when there is no physical action then there can be no psychological effect attached to it. No stimulus, hence no response!!

Green (which is proven a colour) on the other hand, like stated above, can evoke a psychological effect.

Personally black to me feels like a state nothingness (even though i am mostly seen wearing black!! -irony-)

Revered is the colour green, which has been associated with Islam as a symbol of the religion itself. Green is the sacred colour of Islam, and is used for the bindings of the Qur’an (the Muslim Holy Book) and in the silken covers of the Sufi saints. It has been suggested that green is revered because it was worn by Muhammad, but it also symbolizes life and nature. When finally reaching paradise in the afterlife, the Qur’an states, “ornaments shall be given to them therein of bracelets of gold, and they shall wear green robes of fine silk and thick silk brocade interwoven with gold, (18:31)” and they will be “Reclining on green cushions and beautiful carpets (55:76).” In Islamic culture green and gold are the colors of paradise.

[Kittygyal]

Salamualikum.

Hadith - Sahih Al-Bukhari 7.705, Narrated 'Aisha, r.a.
When Allah's Apostle died, he was covered with a Hibra Burd (green square decorated garment).

Hadith - Sunan of Abu Dawood, Narrated Abu Rimthah, r.a.
I went with my father to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and saw two green garments over him

I am not sure if one is allowed to wear green clothing or not but if i got this correct some people do wear the turban green.. im sure were following the footsteps of our prophet ad also green is the favourite colour of the Prophet..Also It has been suggested that green is revered because it was worn by Muhammad, but it also symbolizes life and nature. When finally reaching paradise in the afterlife, the Qur’an states, “ornaments shall be given to them therein of bracelets of gold, and they shall wear green robes of fine silk and thick silk brocade interwoven with gold, (18:31)” and they will be “Reclining on green cushions and beautiful carpets (55:76).” In Islamic culture green and gold are the colors of paradise.im not scholar so Allaah hu alim

There's nothing wrong with wearing green, there is ikhtilaaf on wearing red though, and pink and them would fall in that same category (for males) but there's nothing wrong in wearing green.

[Abu Musab]

would it be sunnah to wear green clothing? if our prophet did?

Aye, and white, and the other colour clothing that rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam wore as well.

[Umm Hurairah]

Like camel-color. :D :D :D
